CYTEC ENG. MATERIALS
Competitive Advantage
We can provide pricing at the $5.50 - $5.75/lb range for the lion’s share of your
business.
We are currently capable of supplying 4,4 DDS as well as 3,3 DDS.
We have adequate supply capability to meet your volume demands now and in
the future.
We have U.S production capability at our Ashtabula, Ohio manufacturing site, but
we are not currently capable of producing all your material requirements
domestically. We are willing to make the necessary investments to do so, should
we be able to come to terms on a supply partnership.
We are experienced with the aerospace industry. Gabriel is heavily involved in
other manufacturing/product licensee arrangements with major U.S. based
chemical companies and we supply many materials to the major aircraft
companies and their chosen component suppliers.
Foreign competitors may pose a significant supply risk (i.e. Atul is primarily a
pigment & dye manufacturer and resources will likely be focused on support of
this primary business vs. 4,4 DDS production should they have to allocate
resources and India’s increasing economy may turn their focus to growing
domestic supply demands).
Gabriel is committed to utilize its manufacturing capabilities to support Cytec with
additional material needs (see introductory presentation attached). We are
currently addressing specific processing partnership opportunities as follows:
